Catalogue Essay
In 2008, Rolex launched the reference 116660 Sea-Dweller Deep Sea with a black dial with a newly introduced Ringlock system and featured a thicker case than its regular counterpart. Extremely robust and feature packed, the Sea-Dweller Deep Sea is lock and loaded to explore the deepest point of the ocean, an incredible depth rating up to 3,900 meters of conquest. Six years later into the production, Rolex introduced a new twist to the Deepsea in 2014, this time with an attractive gradient blue dial beautifully mimicking the hue of the deep sea. Nicknamed “James Cameron”, it was a tribute to his solo expedition to explore and document the deepest part of the ocean where no human has ever conquered.
The present example Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea “James Cameron” ref. 116660 from circa 2017 is offered in “new-old-stock” condition with its factory stickers intact and is complete with its full set of accessories.

Swiss | 1905Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
